Your thoughts on Evan class

Goddamm, put your entire argument into one post, not parts of it into the quote where I confuse it with the bolded stuff.

Dude. The dragon is new. There is no other goddamm thing in the game which attacks for you when you press a button. Shadow Partner just copies your moves. And comparing it to Cash Shop weapons? You realize it takes a bit to realize the range limit of the dragon, as it attacks from behind you? That's what Hazzy was complaining about. On Cash shop weapons, just put it on, and BOOM, you're used to it. Even if you guys insist that the dragon isn't new, then who would I frigging care? Does every new class need to add something new to the game? No. Jesus Christ, I don't get why I have to argue with everyone about this.

Yes there is, it's called the ''my buddy DJ'' cash shop weapon, and the other ''friend'' cash shop items. Or the animal cash shop items, it's the SAME thing, the dragon can barely move away from the Evans path, and you're the one basically doing the attacking, that was my point. I don't know why you think this is unique, but it really doesn't feel unique to me. Trying to master an attack range on a mage class is also easy, well I guess that might be different for me since I use an AM, but I've never had any problems trying to master the range of my skills, and I seriously(I'll even challenge the fact) doubt that I would have trouble aiming with Evans attacks. Who's to say that the Evans attacks appear from behind it, and the dragon just covers up some empty portal that appears and spews out the attack? Well of course that's a stupid question, but I hope that helps you understand what I'm trying to say.

Dual Blade...I'm arguing that it didn't introduce something unique. Yes, I know it has overpowered damage. Yes, I know they have a lot of mobility. But so do another class....assassins. You could argue they have more damage, and more mobility, but that doesn't mean the concept is new. It just means that Nexon built on the idea.

This is what I was trying to say, so we're on terms here.

And Evan's Magic Resistance has no cooldown. It is god. It means less HP washing for some folks at Pink Bean, Horntail, and Zakum. And yes, everyone would rather have a bishop in their party than an Evan. Even I do. But that's their niche in the game. Support skills for everyone who doesn't want to waste money on Nexon. Plus, they do quite more damage than a Bishop on single monsters with no resistances or weaknesses.
But still, is it worth sacrificing a party member? First you need your DK, then you need a priest, then you need an archer for sharp eyes, then you need an attacker so the sharp eyes buff isn't wasted, ect.
Now to your actual post.

[B]But Evan can do better mob damage with flame wheel than AM's!

Where the pineapple did I, or anyone, say that? That made your entire first paragraph useless. AM's niche is to do godly mob damage. Evans suck compared to them against mobs, period.
I misread something you said, that's my fault, sorry about that.
Last, digging up dirt? Ptff. I'm just stating the facts.

The only thing that seems desirable for an Evan is magic resistance, and even then, it wouldn't be necessary for anything but pink bean(although it will most likely be the godliest lifesaver in neo tokyo if we ever get it), the rest of their skills, while unique(I agree with that), are only mediocre. Their niche is what makes them an overall useless class in the larger scale of maplestory. They have some support skills, but dont' excell in it. So a bishop will almost always overule them in that. They have more attack on single target mobs than mages, as well as the ability to reset their element, but that doesn't do much because attackers can easily out-damage them still. They can max all of their skills, but that doesn't do much if their skills lack in anything excelling. If killing wing works on bosses, then what I say is completely null and void, as this would obviously make Evans the most kickass class for bossing as we know it, they also could justify it working on a boss, because arans can apparantly freeze a boss with tempest so they should be able to inflict status effects on them.(the same goes with ghost lettering)

Onyx blessing is a good skill, but it only works for magic attack, for 60 seconds, and doesn't compare to an onyx apple(unless it stacks).


Evans just sound like they're ''decent'' in every single feat in maplestory, but as cool as this sounds on paper, in reality this is their biggest downfall. The only thing that makes the Evan worth playing would be their magical resistance skill, and that's IF you get lucky enough to manage a PB battle, and the only partys that aren't already good enough to beat pink bean without some sort of defense will obviously be a mediocre party themselves, and your chances of meeting inexperienced parties will be even higher.

So, Evans are fun, that's the best thing to them. They are mages that are incredibly exciting and fun, their attacks feel pretty new, they have such a large variety of attacks, but I could care less about the dragon, if anything I'd rather the dragon wasn't there and my character would just cast the spells himself, because the dragon doesn't even look that cool to me(but it's not bad).


Well in any case, any class can be argued to be ''useful'', but we'll see how ''useful'' Evan is when they're never invited to any HT runs or Zakum runs, and all the Evans will be doomed to the same life AM's are doomed to exist, I guarantee you it will end up this way.
